Top Durham Hotel Reviews

21c Museum Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific gem of a hotel in downtown Durham! It's walking distance to many things (including a really neat food hall right down the road) and was unique, fun, and interesting. The art museum aspect of this hotel was a very cool concept, and made for a great hour or so of wandering and discovering beautiful, thought-provoking new art I had not seen before. Love the concept - the room was clean, cute, well-apportioned, and when we had an issue with the a/c in the room, the staff jumped right on it to address it. Highly recommend staying here - for the price, can't be beat!"
